History San José
San Jose, United States
Comisionado de Pueblo
By means of your official document of the 18th of the current month, I am informed that the hill designated by the Señor Gobernador has come to be recognized as the boundary between Mission San José and the Pueblo, and that by extending the line from the hill to the tip of the estuary, the Place of the Skulls belongs to the Pueblo. However, do not order any livestock or horses to be taken there until I give the order. Today I have asked the Reverend Fathers to report on the matter as well. By including their point of view I hope to avoid disputes.
God keep you many years.
